Albany Bomb Plot Foiled: FBI Arrests Woman Allegedly Aimed at NY State Capitol

The FBI arrested 35-year-old Jessica Bowie of Albany, NY, after she allegedly planned to bomb the New York State Capitol to kill lawmakers, pledging allegiance to the Islamic State and surveilling the building with undercover agents posing as IS members. Bowie allegedly hid a fake bomb in a DoorDash bag, carried a defective gun, and accepted $200 from agents to buy supposed bomb materials at Home Depot; she discussed the attack with operatives and had been a frequent social media user who praised IS and anti-American posts. She reportedly converted to Islam about five years ago, and it remains unclear whether she will fight the charges.
